Well Ali I’m basically in the same place, I’ve hardly moved from my original surroundings, and I have written a lot about our family home in Ocean Grove named “Tullawalla” and our original residence in North Geelong, (Well Preserved). 😊

It’s interesting to note how judgemental some people can be. We might not fit into society’s norms, yet we can feel very content with our life. Funny how some of us will assume and jump to conclusions, never thinking about one’s backstory, truth as you said – and never take the time to get to know one person. A poem that speaks of both vulnerability and strength. Great writing, Ali 🙂
